Chapter 216 [Vault]

Title - The Obsidian Wrath | Chapter 1 | Female MC

______________________________________________

[3rd POV]

She remembered dying. A dark death, surrounded by medical machinery as she rewatched one of her favorite shows one last time. A death at the hands of something that she simply couldn’t overcome, stage 4 cancer. Dying in exhaustion and suffering.

And then, as the darkness overwhelmed her, as she died upon her hospital bed…her eyes were opened once more, but…not in the way she was expecting.

A large, robotic figure met her vision as she looked down into the ocean she was standing within. She was on some sort of island in the middle of nowhere. Her figure was huge, and…recognizable. She was…

A Jaeger

A Jaeger was basically a giant walking weapon created to kill Kaiju, large monsters that came through a “Breach”. They were the weapons created by humanity to stop them, and were powered by a nuclear reactor at it’s core. And now…that was her core, it was…in essence, her heart.

‘…I can’t tell if this is awesome or terrifying’ The woman thought as she gazed down at her new form, large and dark in color, with white coloring at her “eyes” where the pilot would usually be, but it would seem that she didn’t need that, not anymore.

‘If I am a Jaeger now…then I should have some sort of system, right? No way I’m just some normal Jaeger’ The woman thought, as words appeared in her new vision.

[Correct! I am the “Ultimate Jaeger System” which is…cheesy, but a good name. My functions are simple]

[Assimilation - Upon killing Kaiju you can assimilate traits from that kaiju into your robotic figure, strengthening yourself with its unique abilities. You can also absorb destroyed Jaegers into yourself, and do not have to kill them, giving you their abilities as well. You can even absorb other forms of technology, weapons, and devices, as long as they are strong enough/or useful enough]

[Multiverse Travel - Upon defeating the final “Boss” of this universe, aka the Precursors, you will gain access to multiverse traveling, allowing you to go to a new universe to grow in]

[Music - You can listen to and play all music from your past life, blasting badass music to make a badass entrance, as any self respecting Jaeger should]

[Status - A status that keeps track of your current “Power Level” name, universe, and other traits]

[Here is your current status]

Name - Obsidian Wrath

Gender - “Female”

“Level” - Category I

Multiverse Travel - Unavailable | Defeat the Precursors

{Traits}

Nuclear Reactor Core - The Core in which all energy flows through you. It is your heart, and is what gives you power. Death will come should it be destroyed.

Chain Swords - Each of your arms are outfitted with chain swords that can act as both a blade and a whip. It is created from Steel-Obsidian Alloy, and is of the same make as Gipsy Dangers.

‘That…that’s it? I have only one weapon? You’re kidding me, right?’ Obsidian as she was now dubbed, thought with wide eyes, not that she really had any. She wasn’t exactly…pleased with this information, and she knew that her fights with Kaiju would be…hard now, very very difficult. She would basically have to either get lucky enough to find a destroyed Jaeger or fight a kaiju weak enough that wouldn’t lead to her death.

Otherwise she was screwed, in simplest terms. She didn’t have the capabilities to fight against the stronger Kaiju that would be showing up in the coming months (?). So, she would have to play it very careful in how she fought and who she fought. She’d need to find a category II kaiju or a destroyed jaeger, either would be enough for her to get the power needed to start fighting the stronger foes that would appear.

And that wasn’t even talking about the fact that she was able to travel the multiverse, meaning that there would be universes like the Monsterverse out there that she would have to travel to in the future.

But for now, she needed to find out a way of finding a kaiju to actually fight, and where the hell she was even at.

[The system can help you with that part, host. You are currently in the year 2020, and are near Anchorage Alaska]

Hearing this, Obsidian’s figure stood up straight, as she remembered where in the timeline she must be then. As 2020 was when Knifehead appeared through a breach and fought with Gipsy Danger, killing one of the pilots, Yancy Beckett, the brother of the other pilot, Raleigh. It was this fight that led to Raleigh to retire for years, and would be the perfect opportunity to assimilate a kaiju.

Knifehead was a category three kaiju, making it a rather strong kaiju but one she could defeat thanks to Gipsy being there. Using Gipsy as a sort of…cover, she can then kill it and take it’s power for herself. She felt bad about what she would likely have to do in order to accomplish this, but…it was the best option.

Raleigh was the “Hero” of this world, and was the one that would return to fight off the first Category V that would appear years later. He was important, and him going into retirement was as well.

From what she remembered, Knifehead was dangerous because of its pointed head which could very easily rip through a jaeger's armor. And with her assimilation of it, she should theoretically obtain a new sharpness to her weapons, or something similar. She honestly wasn’t sure what she’d obtain from it, but she was very excited to figure it out.

With that in mind, she would now need to try her best to find where the thing appeared and kill it. She didn’t have any connection to the outside world yet, so no GPS or tracking or anything like that. She would need to assimilate a destroyed Jaeger first, or get lucky with the Kaiju she kills. Either way, it was time for her to leave the small island she was standing on, and begin her trek through the ocean to find the first prey for her to hunt.

And so, she began her hunt, as she stepped into the ocean below, not feeling the cold or waters at all, as if it was nothing more than a puddle, her massive form that was roughly the size of Gipsy Danger (260FT/79.25M) in terms of height.

‘Time to find that Kaiju!’

___________________________

As it turns out, finding a giant kaiju that was larger than most buildings you would find in New York was…not easy, like…at all. It was easier to notice other smaller islands or to find a damn ship on the ocean than finding the thing. It was hiding, heading towards Anchorage for its attack. But the problem with that was the fact that she had no idea where the hell Anchorage even was.

Had she known where Anchorage was, she could have found Gipsy and Knifehead within a short time, but since she had no tracking abilities, it took her a lot longer, but finally, after over an hour of searching, she heard it, the sound of roaring and steel crashing, the sounds of screams and sparking.

The sound of a battle between titans.

And as she heard this, she had only one thought on her mind, as she moved towards the battle, and that thought was…

’Let’s hunt a kaiju!’

That’s the end of the chapter!

Another one of my ideas I’ve gotten as of recent. I’ll be making a couple more vault fics similar to this before moving onto other stuff. Also, question: Would anyone be interested in a fanfic involving Gears of War? I’ve recently been replaying the games (my favorite of all time) and thought it might be interesting to make something on it, but I wasn’t sure if people would be interested in that.

Anyways, have a good day!
